went to dinner at my parents’ with middle-little sister and we managed to have a CIVILIZED discussion about gun control, donald trump, hillary clinton, and several other things, in which my father participated. It was. It was unprecedented.
He did try to make the point that Trump wouldn’t be able to single-handedly actually dismantle the entire US political system on his own, and Mom interrupted him to point out to us that BY THE WAY HE’S NOT VOTING FOR TRUMP, and I was like, I’ll take it.
Also my father now owns the same model of smartphone I do, so I helped him configure it. He kept turning it off and I was like… you can just put it into sleep mode, that works too. He was extremely good at using it, which was startling given that he’s never used one before, but he’s actually very technically adept, he just doesn’t know the QWERTY keyboard because he comes from an era when men didn’t learn to type. But hunting and pecking is actually not really a disadvantage on a tiny mobile keyboard, and I taught him the screen rotation trick.
He has yet to send a text from it, to us anyway. But we know he knows how to.
